OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.	10 horses of the Police Force of the Slovak Republic were examined. They were subjected to combat training, consisting of medium-intensity physical activity (walking, trotting, jumps, short-distance gallop) in the presence of other stressors (sirens, combat vehicles, pistol shooting, jumping over fire barriers, water cannons, aggressive group of people and barking police dogs).
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in English	Police horses work in an environment rich in various stressors unusual for these animals. 10 horses of the Police Force of the Slovak Republic were examined. They were subjected to combat training, consisting of medium-intensity physical activity (walking, trotting, jumps, short-distance gallop) in the presence of other stressors (sirens, combat vehicles, pistol shooting, jumping over fire barriers, water cannons, aggressive group of people and barking police dogs). The aim of our study was to evaluate the release of cortisol in police horses in response to combat training. Blood morphology, venous blood gases and serum cortisol were measured immediately after training and after recovery. No significant changes in blood, lactate, pH and HCO, values were observed after training, indicating low intensity of exercise performed during training. Serum cortisol was higher in training horses than in experienced post-training horses. Cortisol concentration in horses in regular operation was lower after training than the morning of the following day, indicating that there was no significant activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. Combat training is not a stressful event for experienced police horses, while unusual environmental incentives can trigger a stress response in inexperienced animals.
